My most recent video about an art journal quilt. Catch glimpses of my pets also.
This is my latest video on youtube. It talks about my journal pages.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Here's a video I made for youtube a few weeks back that presents techniques I use for making journal and other art quilts.
I'll be showing more of these quilts and many other goodies in my shop angelsdreams.etsy.com very soon.

This is the first video I made for youtube. It is about an art journal page. The idea around it is "think HAPPY thoughts".
for someone to toss the stick so he can fetch it. He loves to play.
Happy Birthday Beautiful child. Kat and I send our very best wishes.
Angels be with you,

I've always kind of loved hats. I thought I maybe even
looked kind of sophisticated in them. Unfortunately
I don't have many hats left that are in decent shape.
My daughter seems to have acquired them along
the way. Oh well. Some day I'll find more.
I haven't posted here for ages. Because I have one very excited daughter whom I helped earlier today to start her own vox, I thought it was time to return.
I believe in angels, as you might have guessed. I've had some extraordinary experiences with angels and spirits, especially in the past year. I've encountered them through blogland and in my every day life,
I am so grateful to all the angels in my life. Thank you.

What's all this fabric about? I have been
slowly trying to clean and organize some of my art supplies while at
the same time still trying to play.
You're probably thinking - why
don't I just concentrate on the organizing and THEN do the creating?
Not how I function - absolutely NOT how I function. And the other thing
is that I've joined a crafter's challenge because it is National crafter's month.
Part of the challenge involves creating for 15 minutes/day. I could
easily do that if life weren't happening all around me. I can hardly
place myself in a bubble which is almost what Julia Cameron would
suggest - oh right - that's totally another story! Other parts of the
challenge include cleaning your space - a bit at a time, I say, and
opening an etsy shop or renewing it if already have one. I guess I
signed on to the challenge as inspiration but I am certainly not going
to be able to say it is the end all and be all. You are supposed to
give unused supplies away also. That's what the fabric and giveaway are
about. In the process of trying to clean the bedroom downstairs so I
can turn it into a studio, I found MORE fabric. In a way I was happy
because I had feared I had sold all of it at garage sales over the past
couple of years. Like I said this organizing is a slow process.
Unfortunately not all of the fabric is something I appreciate and so
the giveaway and so the invitation to swap.
I know you'll wish me luck with the challenge. Part of the giveaway is also to hopefully find more people that like my work so when I do open my etsy - well, you get the drift.
If you want to comment for the giveaway, don't know what it's about, need to see the other items besides the mini-quilt, please go to this post. You have a week to comment. One comment enters you but please feel free to comment as often as you like. It helps to fuel my creativity and efforts.
Someone had problems commenting so she e-mailed me. Please do the same if having difficulties. My e-mail is at my profile at my other blog.
Back to life and hopefully playing.
Angels be with you.

Dream jar: Last Saturday on CaC (create a connection) a dream jar was suggested by Jennifer. I see she actually called it a wish jar. I like dream jar so will stick with that. I really liked the idea and finally got to making one
My dreams would include more reachable ones:
- starting an etsy shop and selling more of my artwork.
- getting a new kitten, cat.
- creating much more of my art.
- feeling more comfortable within my own body (long story - I'm working on it, with a very
good team I am told.)
-
getting to spend a week by myself during which I can create to my
heart's content (this has been happening every year for the past nearly
10 years thanks to Greg and other wonderful helpers).
-
getting to create in a 100 year old house for a day or afternoon (I've
been invited and have every intention of accepting the offer.
More far fetched dreams:
-
getting to travel this year with Greg as we both turn 50 and will be
celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this year also. (I love to
travel and we need time away with each other).
Pie in the sky dreams (the best kind sometimes):
- owning a horse and learning to ride.
- living in the country.
- living by the ocean.
- returning to Australia and New Zealand, particularly because I have friends there now.
- returning to Amsterdam - I love the flowers and other things.
- travelling to the UK and getting to meet Suze and Jude in person - they are so dear to me.
As
I wipe the tears from my eyes I must move on to the creation piece
again. Maybe I'll go outside and play with Billy a bit before I do
that. I need more sun.
I forgot to
mention that I found the little nest this morning when I was out taking
Billy for his walk. It was laying on the street if you can imagine.
Maybe someone was brushing snow off their roof or something. I picked
it up immediately when I realized what it was - number four in my
little collection.
Angels be with you as you think on your own dreams.
